OSU-Michigan 1974: Buckeyes escape in dramatic fashion, 12-10, after Wolverines' Mike Lantry is wide on late FG

This was a matchup of No. 3 Michigan, which was 10-0, and No. 4 Ohio State, which was 9-1.

Ohio State's Tom Klaban kicked four field goals, and Michigan's Mike Lantry missed a 33-yarder with 18 seconds left as OSU escaped with the win. Lantry's kick appeared to go over or barely outside the left upright, and the officials called it wide left. Television replays of the kick were anything but conclusive.

It was the second straight year Michigan had a bitter taste after the Ohio State game. One year earlier, the Buckeyes and Wolverines had played to a 10-10 tie, which left them tied atop the Big Ten standings. The Big Ten athletic directors held a secret vote and sent the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl, possibly because Michigan quarterback Dennis Franklin broke his collarbone in the OSU game and the ADs thought OSU would have a better chance to win.

Wolverines coach Bo Schembechler was furious after the vote. OSU overpowered USC in the Rose Bowl.

In the 1974 game, OSU held Michigan scoreless over the final three quarters. Both teams rushed for 195 yards, with OSU's Archie Griffin (111 yards) and Michigan's Gordon Bell (108 yards) leading the way for their respective teams.

Ohio State won with 4 field goals over scUM's touchdown and field goal, is that even possible?
